SC replacement…can I reuse the pulley?

I have a 65K mile 2006. First mod I did was the pulley (Cravenspeed 15% that I won as an AMVIV door prize). Now the car is making a funny growl above 2500 rpm and my mechanic thinks it's the blower bearing. (Given that my 3rd party extended warranty expires in 5 weeks I feel like I won the lottery!)

All that said, if it is the blower and it gets replaced, can I reuses the pulley from the dead one or should I buy a new one. Would rather not if I can help it but if i have to…

Want to stick with 15%…which brand is recommended?

Also, any "expensive" repair/service I should have them look at or do while the front end of the car is off on somebody else's nickel?

Thanks!

Should be fine to reuse if you can get it off....some heat might be needed since a drop of locktight is usually used to lock the bolts...
